Completed in 1908, 161 Lexington Ave rises 12 stories over New York. Public records put it at 3 units and 37,305 square feet of floor area, on land zoned C6-2A. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $1.2M, and assessed for tax at $538K. In the 39 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 1,090 separate government filings — a paper trail nearly as tall as the building itself.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward violation: 304 of its 1,090 records, fully 28%, fall under that one heading. Complaint (302) and permit (162) trail well behind. 18 violations stand open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2019.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 2, with a site energy-use intensity of 104.6 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 496 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 28% violation, 39 years of accumulation, a parcel of New York — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$1.2M of New York, written across 1,090 government filings.
